A Confederacy of Dunces (201?)

[Madeleine Maudlin]

I only ever watch, for the most part, sitcoms, and mostly any television,
during feeding times, which regarding sitcoms means dinnertime, and
syndication.  Which is the only way to do Hollywood, the best way by far
anyway.  Which limits me.  But I'd say, last ten years?  Better than the
delightful Tina Fey?  Top of head, I don't want to spend the remainder of
my very important morning on this.  Simpsons.  Whatelse.  Office.
 Whatelse.  Flight of Conchords.  Things like that.  Larry David.
 Everything Ricky Gervais has done, including his new Life is Short.  And
actually Big Bang Theory is really good.

Speaking of Gervais and the Flood...
